Landscape Maintenance
A landscape is not finished when the crew leaves. Beds need mulch, hedges need shaping, irrigation needs adjusting as planting fills in, and the system needs blowing out before the first hard freeze. Maintenance is what keeps the money you already spent on the build from quietly draining away.
Grizzly maintains landscapes we built and landscapes we did not. Either way the schedule is set around what your property actually needs through the year, not a fixed calendar applied to every yard on the route.
What Maintenance Covers
01
Cutting at the right height for the season rather than the lowest setting that buys another week. Scalped grass is what invites the moss and weeds people then ask us to treat.
02
Trees, shrubs and hedges cut to shape and timed to the plant. Prune the wrong species at the wrong time of year and you trade a season of flowering for a tidy afternoon.
03
Fresh mulch at the right depth holds moisture, suppresses weeds and keeps beds reading as intentional. Piled against trunks it does the opposite, so we keep it clear of the crown.
04
Weeds are usually a symptom. Thin turf, compacted soil or a bed with no mulch layer will keep producing them, so we treat what is there and then deal with why it keeps coming back.
05
Leaf and debris clearance, cutting back spent growth, and clearing the drainage paths and catch basins before the wet months rather than after the water has already backed up.
06
Head adjustment, broken lines, leaking valves, controller schedules, and winter blow-outs before the first hard freeze. Water left in the lines splits pipe and backflow devices.
See this workHow We Schedule It
A maintenance plan that treats every yard identically is a plan built for the crew's convenience. Yours has its own sun, its own drainage and its own planting, and those decide what needs doing and when.
Plenty of the landscapes we maintain were installed by someone else. That is fine — but it changes the first visit, because we have to find out where the irrigation runs and what the beds were planted for before we start cutting anything.
Where we find something built wrong, we will tell you straight. If repeatedly repairing a zone is costing more than replacing it properly, that is worth knowing early rather than paying for it twice.
Tell us about the property and what is not keeping up. We will walk it with you, look at the planting, the drainage and the irrigation, and put together a maintenance schedule that fits what is actually there.

Where We Work
From our base in Lynnwood we maintain landscapes across thirty cities in both counties. Route density matters for maintenance work, so if your town is on this list we can usually fit you into an existing schedule.

How It Works
01
Send the form or call (425) 648-9443 and tell us what is not keeping up. That tells us who needs to come look at the property, and when.
02
We walk the property, look at the planting, drainage and irrigation, and work out what the maintenance schedule actually needs to cover.
03
The same crew works the property on a schedule set around it, and we stay reachable between visits if something comes up.
